Story summary

Connor Hellebuyck, the star goaltender of the New Jersey Devils, will not play against his former team, the Winnipeg Jets, on Tuesday in Winnipeg. The decision was made by the Devils' management after Sunday’s 4-0 shutout win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Despite Hellebuyck expressing a desire to face his old team, Sunny Mehta, the Devils’ general manager, stated that playing Hellebuyck might reduce their chances of winning the game. The trade request came just two years after Hellebuyck signed a seven-year contract extension with the Jets in October 2023. Fans were anticipating Hellebuyck’s return to Winnipeg since he was traded last month for forward Dawson Mercer, goalie Nico Daws, and a 2029 second-round draft pick.
